- Flowers over greenGardenia brings floral; Vanilla | 28 brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Gardenia in spring and summer and Vanilla | 28 in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gardenia is moderate on both, Vanilla | 28 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanilla | 28 first, then Gardenia over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
